Technology due diligence that predicts execution risk

Technology due diligence is often treated as a risk-screening exercise, yet many post-acquisition execution failures stem from issues it fails to surface. Traditional diligence evaluates technology in its current state, but rarely assesses how systems, teams, and decisions behave under pressure. In regulated and fintech environments, this gap shows up quickly through slowed delivery, integration friction, and rising compliance overhead. Architecture, decision-making structure, regulatory design, and knowledge concentration ultimately determine how fast and safely a business can evolve post-close. When technology due diligence is used to inform value creation planning rather than just deal approval, execution risk becomes clearer and early momentum is easier to protect.

Why code quality still matters in the era of AI

I'll be honest: when I first started working with AI coding assistants, I thought we were on the verge of making code quality debates obsolete. Why obsess over clean architecture and test coverage when AI could just churn out whatever we needed? I was spectacularly wrong. After spending the last year working with these tools in production environments, and seeing both the incredible wins and the spectacular failures, I've come to realize something fundamental:

How to build Fintech MVPs that pass regulation and scale

Fintech has always moved fast. But speed alone is no longer a competitive advantage. It becomes a liability if it is not paired with structural integrity. The funding environment is warming up again, yet investor expectations have sharpened. Strong teams are not rewarded for being first to launch, but for being first to demonstrate real traction under regulatory, operational and technical constraints.

Modernising publishing workflows for performance and agility

In publishing, speed, discoverability and user experience define success. Yet many organisations still rely on workflows built for another era. Monolithic CMSs, tightly coupled front ends and manual production steps don’t just slow teams down. They limit innovation and make change expensive.

AI, capital, and compliance: mapping Fintech startup momentum

Between €5.2 and €6.3 billion has already flowed into European fintech startups this year, while U.S. firms continue to attract the lion’s share globally, capturing 60 % of all fintech investment and 71 % of mega-round funding in Q2 alone. The funding is returning, but so are the expectations.The funding is returning, while but so are the expectations.
